SUBMARINE LIGHTS FOR TORPEDO BOATS.
The accompanying cut illustrates method
proposed by Mr. L. f. DE Cells, of Los An
geles Cal and described by The Scientific
American, by means of which n vessel may
be warne,! of the approach Of submarine
torpedo. Briefly, this plan consists in pro
viding the hull with a series OF bulls eyes
below the water line, through which pow
erful light may he thrown to illuminate the
surrounding water. Alongside of each bulls
eye is a glass covered opening, through which
4 close watch Of the water may lie MAIN
tained, and the approach of a torpedo noted.
Commenting upon the probable effectiveness
Of this method. Mr.. Cells says: ''ls there
anything to prevent it lthe iroHclad from
exploding the torpedo or torpedo boat 10y
means of a diri-ihle torpedo before it comes
within the proper distance to do the harm.
This device can bc applied at very small cost
30 any vessel"

KEEP THE PLOWS GOING.

Everything points to a fruitful year,
and we urge our farmers to make the
most of it. There are various crops that
are sure and certain to succeed even on
sod. Among these are broom corn, sor-
ghum cane, and corn.
Last year sod corn was q splendid sue
cess in all parts of the southwest. We
know of one man who came from Georgia
and took claim in the northwest part
of this county on the 7th day Of March.
He started his breaking pillow and raised
a fine crop of corn estimated at forty
bushels per acre.
There is no harm in trying, for the land
once broken will be in order for crop
next year-even if the sod crop shold fail
to pay. Push on the blowing
No country on earth can surpass this
for squashes, pumpkins, melons, ond the
like, and they never fail on sod. Try
them. Pumpkins will fatten hogs. Keep
the COWS in good milking order, and with
proper care can be kept all winter. There
is nothing better for a farmer than to
have plenty of good feed for his stock in
the fall. Sorghum never fails and prop
erly cured before frost bitten, it is hard
to beat. Broom corn is one of the best
paying crops that can be raised, and it is
rarely suffers from dry weather Pillow

THE SAND HILLS.

The sand hills south Of Kinsley are
utilized. The Mercury says how it is
done:
Occasionally some eastern sucker gets
sailed upon slice OF the juicy side of the
sand hills lying along the course of the
Arkansas river. Their are two things
these hills are especially adapted to; one
is to raise goats upon, and the other is to
be exchanged for eastern property be-
longing to parties who have never saw
them. A short time ago an Iowa man be.
came possessor of $40 acres of them
which was valued in an exchange for
property in his state at 80 per acre, and
afterwards wrote q real estate agent at
this place to put it upon the market at IS
per acre, stating that he had never saw
the land, but that it was smooth and he
would sell at that price only upon condi-
ton that q buyer be found soon. There
are unsuspecting people in the east who
are ''bled" daily on some of this almost
worthless land bordering the Arkansas
river on the south, and it is always good
policy to see just what you are getting
before buying.
